CHAN 2024: Kenya aims to confirm, Angola seeks to bounce back

Buoyed by their opening win over DR Congo (1-0), Kenya’s Harambee Stars return to the Moi International Stadium pitch this Thursday, facing an Angola side desperate for redemption.

Benni McCarthy, the Kenyan head coach, is determined to keep his squad grounded:

It's just one win. We stay focused. Angola is a team that loves possession, but what we want are the three points.

On the other side, Pedro Gonçalves knows his squad must respond after their defeat to Morocco (0-2).

Playing the host nation in a packed stadium is a challenge. But my players are mentally ready. We know what needs to be done to bounce back.

Kenya is chasing a historic quarterfinal qualification in their very first appearance. Angola, with their backs against the wall, can no longer afford any mistakes. It’s a clash of ambition versus survival. Unmissable.
